The ...The yawns from the little kids were so cute.<br /><br />The guy called to the young men's presidency was actually called in May so that was just his sustaining. The previous second counselor was called to the Seventy at April's conference and they did not replace him at that time.<br /><br />President Packer<br />He was looking a whole lot better. I have trouble paying attention to his talks.<br /><br />Elder Christofferson<br />Very good talk. I didn't get that he got mommy track wrong. I've heard people say it in that context often.<br /><br />Elder Nielson<br />I actually covered my ears at one point because his speaking in exclamation points about exclamation points was just too much for me.<br /><br />Elder Valenzuela<br />Nice talk. He's right about some people just waiting. My best friend was inactive and what got her active again was calling her to serve in nursery. Definitely not what would have done it for most people, but she loves being in there. Her former home teacher said he tried to convince them to give her a calling with the little children for months before they finally did.<br /><br />Elder Dyches<br />I don't really remember much about his talk.<br /><br />Elder Holland<br />A lot of people on my FB news feed are talking about his talk. Quite an usual one. I have a friend who took a psych class in college at SVU (the pseudo church college in VA). There was a girl in the class who was *insistent* that mental illness only happens because people are unrighteous or don't pray enough. Nothing anyone said could change her mind. I hope if she still holds that opinion she was paying attention today. My best friend takes an anti-anxiety drug as needed. She decided to finally go on it because she realized she'd treat herself if she had a physical problem so why not for a mental problem. It was causing issues in her life just like a physical problem would after all. She doesn't talk about taking her meds much, though, because to many people there's still that stigma.<br /><br />Elder Ballard<br />It was a good talk, but I missed most of it partly because I am one of those that goes "ugh" internally when missionary work is mentioned and partly because we were eating dinner during his talk.Heather the Mama Dukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03314177816405887405noreply@blogger.com
